July 07, 2021 Don't Thrust Them Away
“Of course, they can be annoying. Painfully so. They scream in your ears. They ruin your clothes with their food and dirt-covered hands. They can cut off your air supply as they crawl onto your back for a piggyback ride. Yet you have to absorb this. You can’t thrust them away. Even though it hurts. Even though you love this shirt. Even though you can’t breathe. ”
Ryan explains why you must control your emotions as a parent.

July 06, 2021 What Message Are You Sending?
“Ten or twenty years from now, they won’t remember the Princess breakfast that you spent hours and hundreds of dollars arranging for the first morning of their first trip to Disneyland. It’s more likely that they’re going to remember something you can’t possibly predict. Something small, and seemingly insignificant to you right now.”
Ryan explains what your kids will actually remember.

July 05, 2021 Why You Must Bring This Home
“So many moments of greatness can be traced back to this. Where did an athlete’s love of the game come from? Where did the scientist’s curiosity come from? The novelist’s passion for story? The philosopher’s quest for truth? A politician’s love of history?”
Ryan explains how to cultivate a love for reading in your children.

July 02, 2021 There Must Be Hope
“A lot has happened in your life. It’s rightly made you cynical about some things, be it politics, relationships, or other people. A lot has happened in history, too, and anyone who has ever read a book will have trouble shaking the fact that a lot of lies have been told, a lot of horrible rigging of the system has happened and a lot of that contributes to the mess we’re in now.”
Ryan explains why nothing is irredeemable.

July 01, 2021 Would It Change Anything?

June 28, 2021 You Can't Be Remote
“Anyone who has read about aristocratic British parenting can’t help but be appalled. Children were not only not seen, but not heard from—for years. They were shipped off to schools. They were expected to carry incredible burdens and deliver on the aspirations of their family, with little to no concern whether their personal aspirations were aligned in the slightest.”
Ryan explains why you must be present with you kids.
